Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules. Its functional groups allow for selective cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for constructing complex heterocyclic systems. Commonly employed in research settings to introduce the isoxazole scaffold into target compounds, especially in the discovery of anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and antimicrobial agents. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides and herbicides due to the stability and reactivity of the isoxazole core.
